Shocking images from Romanian front in First World War

Romania ranks third in a statistic of human losses in the First World War. Many people have forgotten this today. Although historians are much more attentive to the atrocities on the western front, and on the Romanian front there are truly shocking images.
Nearly 250.000 soldiers and 430.000 civilians died during the war, with a deficit of over 400.000 new-borns between 1916-1919. This leads to a total deficit of 14% compared to the pre-war population.
